Creative Direction (1996-2002)

Creative Director

A few of the many amazing projects that I brought to life between 1996 and 2002. It was an amazing time! I was in my 20s, living between LA, San Diego and Seattle working with incredible brands in the skate, snow, and entertainment industries. I can’t believe I was able to collaborate with idols like: Guillermo del Toro, Shepard Fairy, Todd Swank, Chris Miller, Kirk Jones and DJ Casper to drop a few names. Huge thanks to my agent, Greg Spotts.

Clients: New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers, LA Galaxy, Planet Earth, Tum Yeto
